Dear all members of the LGBT+ community

If your friend/lover makes comments about your gender/sexuality that invalidate you, purposefully use the wrong name and/or pronouns because your preferred ones are “just too complicated”, you have the right to be upset and/or finding someone better. You aren’t being “too sensitive” nor are you “unable to take a joke.” You deserve to be respected, and please know that there are plenty of people out there who will give you the respect you deserve.
